    BrewDog, a Scotland-based craft brewery, is close to acquiring a Columbus site for their first international expansion, according to The Herald Scotland.

    BrewDog announced the development at its annual general meeting for investors yesterday. The site has yet to be revealed, but will consist of about 105 acres. Earlier this April, Stone Brewing recommended Columbus to BrewDog as a city worthy of hosting new production facilities. Columbus has been pitted against Charleston, South Carolina in a battle for the brewery’s newest transatlantic bottling plant.

    “Within 500 miles of Columbus, you’ve got half the American population, so distribution-wise it makes a lot of sense,” BrewDog’s co-founder James Watt told beer blog Total Ales in late May.

    No formal announcement has been made by BrewDog, but Watt tweeted earlier today that BrewDog is close to finalizing a deal.

    UPDATE 6/10 11:20am – Official announcement has been made.

    The fast-growing brewery was founded in 2007, and exports its beers to several different countries. BrewDog bars are located in Scotland, the U.K., Europe, and South America.
